Wryly presented as faux documentary where the key players in the debacle – a rogue’s gallery of grotesques – are interviewed some twenty years afterwards, Gillespie also uses extensive flashbacks to fill in the gaps in the lurid narrative. Tonya’s fractious relationship with her volatile, pushy stage mother LaVona (Allison Janney) forms a through-line in this unclassifiable, breathlessly entertaining blend of bizarre true-crime drama, comedy and intimate character study.
